Ollie 4,400 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Well not if you actually have passion for the game and feel like you are worth more than a few mintues each year.Of course but think about it.... Getting 20,30,40k to play only a few games here n there with very little pressure yet winning loads of medals. It may be bad for Ruddy if he wants to get in the England squad but he'll never be England's number 1 anyway. I don't even reckon he's that great to be perfectly honest.

It's not about the NT, it's about getting playing time... he probably plays football because he loves it, and he has a passion for it. So he wouldn't want to barely get any playing time for the price of money and trophies. He'll want to eventually get to a better team maybe but as a first keeper.If I was offered to be the 2nd keeper I'd say yes but him... I don't think so.

Ollie 4,400 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Cech = Chelsea's number 1 from 2004-2016Courtois = Chelsea number 1 from 2016 to 2028. We're settled for a while in regards to our number 1 keeper. Any GK coming here will never be first choice so they'd only be coming for an easy life.

Hannah 200 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Chelsea are considering returning to Norwich City with an improved offer for their England goalkeeper, John Ruddy, having had an initial bid for the player rejected.It also says that Hilario is likely to sign a new 12-month deal.http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jul/03/chelsea-john-ruddy-norwich-cityMetro also reporting the new 7m bid.http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/03/chelsea-hope-to-finally-sign-john-ruddy-with-new-7million-offer-3867994/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many players would love to sit on the bench, get good money and their hand on trophies and sacrifice playing time. I reckon 40 games for a top club + loads of trophies + big wages are better than 400 games for a club no one cares about and never win a title and not that much money. Most important things in football are trophies and money and they have to think about their future after football, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin Sarmadi 24 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Sky Sports understands the 26-year-old is interested in a switch to Stamford Bridge.However, the Canaries are not willing to do business with Chelsea, and are looking at holding the player.Ruddy has impressed since arriving at Carrow Road in 2010, following a string of loan spells during his time with Everton.And it is thought that Chelsea are keen to bring him in to provide back-up to No.1 Petr Cech, with Thibaut Courtois again loaned out to Atletico Madrid.Ross Turnbull has also been released this summer following four years at Chelsea.http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8809461/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDY 1,290 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I don't get why they are so desperate to keep him. When he was injured Mark Bunn stepped in and was fantastic, & their U18s GK also looked very good in the Youth Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 No way!A keeper as good as cech should no way be wasted on the bench.When we feel that courtois is ready to take over we should sell cech imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Waste of a transfer. Blackman and Turnbull can do a job. On the off chance Cech is out for a long period, we can recall Courtois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 A keeper as good as cech should no way be wasted on the bench.When we feel that courtois is ready to take over we should sell cech imo. A keeper of Ruddy's ability would be absolutely wasted on the bench. Jose will most likely not see him as a certain no.1 for us. So this transfer makes no sense for us or Ruddy's career.
